Verb Tenses and Conjunctions

In this module, you will watch video lectures, do readings, do practice exercises, and take quizzes. You can re-watch the videos or redo the exercises as many times as you need to to help you understand the material. This module will help you review verb tenses and how to use them correctly. You probably already studied these in your other English classes, so this will just be a quick reminder. Then you'll begin learning about how to use conjunctions in your sentences. This will help you write different kinds of sentences and make your writing more interesting.

In this module you're going to do a quick verb tense review. Verb tenses are important because if you're not using good grammar in your writing then your writing may not be effective. If you're taking this class I assume you've studied verb tenses before. So we'll just do a quick review and a little bit of practice. After that we'll do some punctuation practice. And I'll show you how to use correct punctuation with conjunctions.
